Which country's ATC is hardest to understand?

[refplusnone]

My own experience would be Indian, Saudi, then maybe French.

Hands down... the Koreans

A female controller in the Caribbean with a French-tinged island patois. Something about that tone and accent combo that KILLS me. ANY French controller runs a close second.

Indians/Pakistanis are the toughest. Especially when they talk fast and don't realize that when EVERYONE on the frequency is asking them to repeat, if they just spoke a little slower, they'd save time.

Found the Russians very easy to understand. French yes difficult, especially something about the women. Maybe I'm just deaf.

Koreans are the hardest for me. Then the French.

I have to agree. Fly enough in India and you'll be happy to fly to Russia.

I don't get to fly to the other places you speak of, but for me by far it is the controllers of the Dominican Republic.

Ankara control, those chicks think if they talk louder, we will understand better.

Yangon is the worst. Why do we even talk to these people? Also, the Indonesians are a trainwreck too.
